I am one of those who sees "the movie" in my head when reading.
I don't cue the movie. Nor do I add mental images consciously. That would be the equivalent of you trying to narrate a film as you said. That's not how it happens.

No, instead this thing happens spontaneously, and as I read it gets more detailed, more crystallized. It is not the same as watching a real film.

Btw, I can't believe that reading a word or a sentence, doesn't trigger an image for you.
I think all of us have associations and our brain creates a picture after reading something like this.

A cat was playing with a white ball of string.

The only thing our brains differ on, is associating what kind of cat it was, how it was playing and how big was the ball of string.
